💥Maine Paws received a $4,600 grant from The Home Depot Foundation to improve our outdoor training area!!💥

This past week, the Topsham Home Depot team joined Maine Paws volunteers to bring the project together. The training area was mowed and raked, umbrellas were installed for much-needed shade, benches were added for anyone who needs a seat, planters were placed for future greenery, and the fence was repaired. The grant also included Milwaukee totes and a hand truck to help us carry event materials. 👏👏👏

These improvements are amazing, and we are so grateful to Home Depot and our dedicated volunteers for supporting our programs! 💕
